Awesome XL Looks
The Savage XL definitely looks the part of the massive monster truck! The extended wheelbase is the perfect evolution of the Savage design, and the extended chassis and larger tires are a perfect match for the big 'GT Gigante' body!
The wide front grill and huge headlights of the GT Gigante body merge with the flared wheel arches front and rear for a huge 'wow factor,' adding to the impression of huge size and strength! The large Terra Pin tires fit the body perfectly for a scale monster truck look that's sure to intimidate the opposition at your local bashing arena! But the Savage XL isn't about just looking great, the HPI designers went all-out to make sure it performs as good as it looks!
Size Does Matter...
Bigger in every dimension than the standard Savage X, the Savage XL is longer, wider, taller, more ground clearance and tires that are nearly 7" in diameter! It's based on the practically indestructible Savage X chassis and features durability upgrades like thicker 3mm TVP chassis plates, 3mm alloy engine plate, machine-cut steel differential rings and pinion bevel gears, steel spur gear, heavy-duty clutchbell, extra heavy-duty dogbones, larger diff outdrives, machined brake hub, dual fiber disc brakes and much more!
Extra-Long Alloy Chassis
To get the long wheelbase of the Savage XL, the HPI designers developed extended TVP (Twin Vertical Plate) chassis made from 3mm thick 6061 aluminum. 6061-series aluminum is light and strong and provides the strength for stretching the Savage platform to its limits! The chassis has Savage XL logos etched into the chassis to really make it stand out! The engine is fitted to a one-piece engine mount with an extra-thick 3mm engine mounting plate. These are the thickest TVP and engine plate parts ever offered on a Savage monster truck, giving the Savage XL the strength to withstand the torque of the massive Nitro Star K5.9 engine.
Huge Terra Pin All-Terrain Tires
The large Terra Pin tires and TVP style chassis help give the Savage XL massive ground clearance of over 3 inches, allowing it to go over obstacles that would stop other monster trucks in their tracks! The Terra Pin tires stand tall at nearly 7" in diameter to soak up ruts, bumps, and rough landings. The tough spike pattern makes the Terra Pins great in grass and loose dirt, while the chevron center pattern give them directional stability on the harder surfaces. The tall sidewalls provide extra shock absorption and allow the tires to grip as they roll over obstacles.
3 Speed Transmission Installed
The Savage XL features the Savage 3-speed transmission to get the most out of the huge torque from the K5.9 engine. Metal gears and a high-speed 3rd gear give you legendary durability, consistent shifting, quick acceleration and high top speed. The transmission is fully adjustable, so you can choose when the Savage XL will shift into higher gear!
Wide Stance & 17mm Hex Hubs
To widen the stance of the Savage XL we added extended aluminum axles with 17mm hex hubs. These are lightweight and tough, and fit standard 17mm hex monster truck and truggy wheels. Serrated steel wheel nuts grip the wheels to keep them locked in place, making sure that you'll never see a wheel bouncing past your truck!
Tough Suspension Uprights
The XL features uprights designed for the power and weight of this massive beast! Beefier parts mean the truck can take more abuse and punishment, giving you plenty of big-air thrills without breaking parts.
Reinforced All-Metal Differentials
The Savage XL continues the tradition of tough, overbuilt HPI monster trucks with several new drivetrain parts that are a standard part of the Savage XL's arsenal of tricks. Machined steel diff rings and pinion bevel gears are built to take the power of 5.9cc of nitro-burning mayhem. Alloy diff cases and 4-gear diffs with new larger diff outdrives and axles round out the ultra-strong differentials.
Larger Diff Outdrives
Getting the power to the dogbones are large, thick and strong diff outdrive cups. These machined steel outdrives can take the punishment of the K5.9 engine to get you through the toughest driving conditions!
Thick Dogbones
Extra-thick dogbones provide the insurance you'll want when you take the XL into rough country! Thick diameter and large ends add up to a drivetrain that won't let you down when the going gets tough! You'll be able to commit the full power of the K5.9 engine to the ground!
Machined Steel Spur Gear
A machined steel 52T spur gear is the perfect match for the horsepower of the Nitro Star K5.9 engine. With a heavy-duty vented clutchbell spinning the spur gear, you get a huge amount of drivetrain protection with gears that won't strip, melt or break in the roughest of terrain and conditions!
Aluminum Three-Shoe Clutch
The Savage XL uses a 3-shoe aluminum clutch to get the power from the engine to the drivetrain. The aluminum clutch shoes resist wear and engine heat for extra life and consistent launches. There's no more secure way to get the power to the ground!
High Torque Metal Gear Steering Servo
The HPI designers chose a super-strong, extra-tough high torque metal gear servo for the Savage XL. With nearly 9kg of force per centimeter, the SF-50 will turn the large Terra Pin tires for responsive steering at any speed! There's no need to upgrade the servo - this baby's got it all! With bellcrank steering and built-in servo saver, you can be sure that the SF-50 will be fully protected against crash damage or bad landings!
Rechargeable Receiver Pack and Charger
To make sure the servos have all the power they need and then some, we're throwing in an HPI 6 volt 1200mAh NiMH battery pack! This rechargeable pack even includes a convenient wall charger so you can make sure that the XL is always ready to rumble! You don't even need to take the pack out of the truck to charge it - just use the convenient charging jack built into the radio box and you're ready to go!
Easy to Drive!
All this power and durability gets you nowhere unless the truck is easy to drive and can get you through the rough stuff, so the HPI designers made sure that the Savage XL can take everything you can through it at and come through like a champ!
The first things that hit the ground are the huge HPI Terra Pin tires, which feature a tall sidewall and tough spikes to rip through grass and loose dirt. The tall tires make handling the rough stuff easy, and the ground clearance of more than 3 inches gets you over obstacles with room to spare!
The long wheelbase and wide stance of the Savage XL allow it to handle rougher terrain than other Savage monster trucks. When the going gets rough you want the size, power and strength of the Savage XL!
Upgraded Parts
Savage big-block monster trucks are legendary for their toughness in the most extreme conditions, and the XL goes even further. With suspension and drivetrain parts designed to take the load of the biggest-ever Nitro Star engine, the Savage XL has what it takes to survive the toughest conditions!
The Savage XL has loads of features that make it easier to drive than shorter-wheelbase monster trucks, while making it tougher and more durable for jumping and in off-road conditions. Tall all-terrain tires, 8 shocks and plush double-wishbone suspension combine for reliable and predictable handling. Add up the heavy duty suspension parts, strong bracing points and the famous Savage durability of the standard parts and you get one tough machine!
Like the rest of the Savage range, the XL uses a total of 8 oil-filled, long-stroke, coil over shocks to handle the suspension duties. Mounted at the bottom to the suspension arms and at the top to Savage X-style shock towers, the shocks can be easily adjusted to vary their position to suit your driving style or terrain. With easy ride height adjustment, you'll be able to set up the XL low for racing and high speeds runs, or quickly raise it for the rough stuff!
With heavy-duty bracing of all suspension parts, the hits can just keep on coming. Tough steel hinge pins and aluminum braces work with the high-impact nylon of the skid plates, bumpers and lower suspension parts to give the Savage XL a rock-solid foundation for ultimate mayhem! Experience for yourself the thrills of wild bashing sessions at top speed, while not having to worry about crash damage or parts failure - it's always a good time with the Savage XL!
Just like the other Savage monster trucks, the XL uses double wishbone suspension to get the power to the ground and soak up jumps and more. With lightweight Savage X-type suspension arms, tough molded upper links and super-tough hardware you have the peace of mind that comes with having control of the toughest monster truck around!
K5.9 Engine
At the heart of the Savage XL is the monstrous Nitro Star K5.9 engine! This 5.9cc (.36 cubic inch) powerplant gives the XL loads of torque for turning the giant tires. The K5.9 engine delivers the muscle and grunt that you'll want for powering the Savage XL over any type of terrain and through any obstacle! The massive K5.9 powerband supplies the torque for getting the XL up to speed quickly, and the curved manifold and aluminum tuned pipe get the most power out of the engine, and a giant heatsink head so you won't have to worry about overheating! The K5.9 is fitted with a Roto-Start 2 electric starter system for easy starting. A vented heavy-duty clutchbell and aluminum 3-shoe clutch are standard equipment for tough and reliable power transfer.
Tuned Exhaust System

The exhaust system is spring-loaded to enable it to withstand the brutal landings of big-air jumps and driving over any type of terrain, and is designed just for the K5.9 engine to produce maximum punch and monstrous top speeds!
Tough ABC Construction
With true ABC construction (Aluminum case and piston, Brass Chrome-plated cylinder), the Nitro Star K5.9 delivers massive torque and horsepower and long engine life. The three-needle carburetor uses a 9.5mm inlet to get in as much fuel as possible and uses a composite body to prevent heat from the engine case affecting the fuel supply. A huge flow-through finned aluminum heatsink head keeps things cool, and even features sweet laser-etched logos!
Dual-Stage Air Filter
A dual stage pre-oiled air filter is used to keep dirt and fine particles of dust from entering the engine. The air filter is securely mounted on a 90-degree rubber tube so it is placed in the perfect position and stay in place through any type of driving.
Roto Start 2 Installed
Get things going quickly with the Roto Start 2 electric starting system pre-installed onto the back of the engine. The Roto Start 2 replaces the standard pullstarter with a handheld shaft-drive starting unit so you don't have to deal with pullstarting the engine by hand.

The centerpiece of the Savage Flux HP is the Flux system, consisting of the Tork 2200 motor and Blur electronic speed control - both impressive in their own right, but together they form an unstoppable power force!
The Flux Tork 2200 features a motor case with massive machined cooling fins that really make it look the part of an all-out power plant! With a 5mm motor shaft it can fit optional pinion gears so you can get even MORE top speed for those insane runs, or gear it down a bit for increased acceleration on the track. The Tork 2200 is mounted to the 3mm 7075 aluminum motor plate with two 8mm billet machined aluminum clamps so it won't move or shift under the immense amount of torque of the brushless motor.
Controlling the Tork 2200 is the Flux Blur electronic speed control, the most powerful brushless speed controller we could find. With the ability to handle twin 3S LiPo batteries (that's a total of 6S LiPo power!) it can deal with anything the Tork 2200 motor can dish out! 6mm bullet connectors secure the motor wires for loss-free connection to the 10-gauge wires, and to connect to each battery pack we've attached real Deans connectors for zero power loss and total efficiency. We figured why re-invent the wheel and release our own connector when the best is already available? Topping off the versatility of the Flux Blur is an integrated cooling fan, which allows the electronic speed control to operate at its ideal temperature.
Finally, you have the ability to easily connect it to your computer for total programming control! With our #100573 USB Programming Kit you can connect the Blur to any Windows-based PC to control all the various facets of its power delivery, braking, throttle curves, battery cut-off and much more.
